Turkey

Turkey is an ideal destination for the sun-seeking, fun-seeking holidaymaker. It has over 5,000 miles of fabulous golden coastline and is surrounded by sea on three sides – the Black Sea to the north, Mediterranean to the south and the Aegean to the west.

It's climate is typically Mediterranean – hot and sunny! Highest temperatures are between June and August, although it starts hotting up in April and stays in the mid to high twenties right through to October. This makes it a great spot to head to if you want to avoid the peak season madness.

Accommodation is excellent throughout the country and you can choose from hotels, apartments or villas, depending on the kind of holiday you want. Turkey villas are available to rent in all the main resorts and they range from the simple and traditional to the ultra modern and luxurious. Traditional Turkey villas make a great choice if you want to stay somewhere that gives you a real feel for the culture and heritage of the country.

Without doubt one of the best things about a Turkish holiday is the food. Local Turkish restaurants offer the best value for money and serve a mouth-watering range of traditional dishes, from mezze platters to delicious lamb kebabs. As food is such an important part of Turkish culture you’ll find all Turkey villas come equipped with excellent cooking facilities. So if you don’t feel like heading out to eat, you can stay in and impress your family/mates by cooking up a storm of your own.

If you fancy taking a break from the beach and soaking up the history rather than the sun, why not visit some of Turkey’s ancient ruins? A combination of Greek, Roman and Byzantine styles, its mosques, temples and amphitheatres are well worth a visit and make for great holiday snaps. Better still, investigate Turkey villas in some of the older towns for a really authentic holiday – history right on your doorstep!
